MetadataExtractor

public class MetadataExtractor

Loads metadata from TFLite Model FlatBuffer.

TFLite Model FlatBuffer can be generated using the TFLite Model schema file.

Some models contain a TFLite Metadata Flatbuffer, which records more information about what the model does and how to interprete the model. TFLite Metadata Flatbuffer can be generated using the TFLite Metadata schema file.

It is allowed to pass in a model FlatBuffer without TFLite metadata. However, invoking methods that read from TFLite metadata will cause runtime errors.

Similarly, it is allowed to pass in a model FlatBuffer without associated files. However, invoking methods that read the associated files will cause runtime errors.

Though TFLite model FlatBuffer supports multiple subgraphs, TFLite Interpreter only supports a single subgraph so far. See the instruction of how to specify subgraph during convertion for more information. Therefore, MetadataExtractor omits subgraph index as an input in its methods.
